Feel free to turn this into a decadent dairy treat by using skim, low-fat or whole milk or even heavy cream. If you are not using vanilla flavored soy milk then you will need more sweetener about 3/4 cup total. As for the sweetener use sugar or another no cal sweetener in equal parts.

- Whisk in soy milk and heat until very hot, but do not boil. Remove from heat and divide between 4 mugs. Serve each with a whole cinnamon stick.
I use Dutch process cocoa powder and it gives a rich, satisfying flavor. you can use more less depending upon your cocoa powder.
I can’t believe that you could use 1/3 cup of cocoa powder in this recipe.
This sounds like such a great new winter treat! Can’t wait to try it out instead of my usual go-to’s now that the weather’s so much cooler! Thanks!
